The Long Ago, Stolen Primary

The 2004 stolen primary election, regarding the 9th District Congress race, that has never been discussed by the mainline media nor addressed by Rep. Adam Smith, is still waiting to come out into the broad open, and thus to stop Smith's steady progression of becoming yet another congressman-for-life in Washington, D.C.  The rightist Democrat was the beneficiary of the election that year as a result of him facing the wrong and misapplied challenger in the '04 general election.  I actually won the G.O.P. '04 primary, but the victory was snatched from me as a result of the incompetency of then Director Dean Logan and his King County Elections Dept., which never investigated their audit log problem properly or at all.  Public officials in various places all over Washington state are aware of the '04 primary malfeasance by the Elections Dept. (not properly attending to finding out what happened to missing audit logs), and in regards to an outsider or outsiders (outside of Elections) stealing an election electronically through remote control.  No mainline media reporters in or outside Washington state have ever felt it necessary to investigate that election since no Establishment politician was affected. 

Now, as I prepare to wage another campaign for the same congressional seat 10 years later, I will continue bringing up the stolen election and how Adam Smith benefitted from it, even though unwittingly, until the truth comes out.  Smith had no involvement in the theft, I stress that he was an unwitting beneficiary, but it is likely that he knows about the circumstances surrounding the primary and has kept mum about it.  So has the U.S. District Attorney for Western Washington, Jenny Durkan, kept mum, as she very likely knows more about the circumstances surrounding that primary than Smith does (neither she nor her office ever replied to an inquiry about the election that I made).  The F.B.I. was respectful, however, and they did reply to me and implied that something was not quite right about that election, although they could not intercede since the statute of limitations had run out by the time that I knew about any of this (2010).  The mainline media in Washington has been disgraceful as they jumped all over the Rossi - Gregoire imbroglio in the same year, 2004, but stayed as far away from the 9th Congressional district primary as they could.  Hopefully, the new 9th District campaign by me will resurrect new interest in the stolen election (by the alternative media and others) and thus put pressure on the mainline media to do the job that they failed to do in '04.

Note:  Investigative journalist, Tom Flocco, published this report about the '04 primary on Nov. 2nd, 2004.

Alternative Reality

We live in an age where many people say there needs to be an alternative to the two major parties, and then march right into the voting booth, at least the metaphorical booth, and cast their vote for the same old parties. Ladies and gentlemen, casting a vote is the exercise in power that the multitudes have that can bring to power the alternative that we say we want. If we cannot bring ourselves to even cast a vote against the status quo - even in a primary - all the talk about alternatives is truly just talk. Then there is the so-called alternative media: the bloggers, the fancy political websites, the free tabloids, and so forth. Some of these are actually an alternative to the corporate media, but the large majority are just a restyling and repackaging of the same old media that you know so well. Many have the same mindset, the same arrogance, and the same priorities, which are antithetical to the priorities of the masses. Then they offer endorsements for political candidates just l...

Real Propaganda

Anybody who reads the Party of Commons' blogs knows that we're not big fans of the Barack Obama administration, so now that we have that qualifier out of the way, the propaganda about the so-called "Fast and Furious" case that the Republicans and FOX News are trying to make a scandal out of is little more than ridiculous.  They're saying that Attorney General Eric Holder was trying to use the "Fast and Furious" operation as some kind of grand scheme to implement gun control, presumably of the sort that was in place during the Clinton administration, as if this nation didn't need some common sense checks-and-balances on certain types of guns and the current gun policy.  Of course, we don't think that the Republicans really believe any of this, so we believe this is real propaganda.  Moreover, there are two problems with trying to create an election year scandal out of this case:  Number 1:  going by their record, the Obama ...

Adam Smith and "Big Brother:" Very Good Friends

Well, it's official:  Rep. Adam Smith is not the least bit concerned about the wishes of the majority of his 9th District constituents (Federal Way, Bellevue, Mercer Island, Newcastle, Renton, Kent, Tukwila, SeaTac and N.E. Tacoma, among others), or the 2014 Congressional election and candidate and challenger Mark Greene , as Smith voted against the Amendment by Rep. Justin Amash (R/Michigan) to rein in part of the overreaching, totalitarian-like NSA surveillance programs.  Unfortunately, the amendment failed by a fairly close margin, 217 - 205, as Smith voted with the "Big Brother 217" in Congress [several Congresspersons did not vote on the Amendment for one reason or another, including Rep. Herrera-Beutler (R) from Washington State].  Hastings (R), Reichert (R), Larsen (D), Kilmer (D) and Heck (D) from the Washington delegation joined Smith in voting down the Amash Amendment.  As you can ...
